The other day I looked down and noticed my fuel guage needle on my 75 Dodge D100 swung and pegged all the way up past the full mark and the temp guage bottomed out like it stopped working altogether. They were both working fine before and they both started act up at the same time. All other guages are working fine with no other electrical issues or blown fuses. Is this a bad ground to the cluster issue or where should I start to fix this? Thanks in advance for your response. Sam

Sounds like instrument cluster ground and/or instrument voltage regulator (IVR). Check the grounds, as it could just be a loose connection.
